Bruce Hornsby’s New Album ABSOLUTE ZERO will be released on 12th April 2019

Three time Grammy award winning pianist, singer and songwriter Bruce Hornsby announced his new studio album AbsoluteZero, will be released on April 12th.

The origin of Absolute Zero began within Hornsby’s work as a film composer for writer-director
Spike Lee. Hornsby started collaborating with Lee in 1992; ultimately, in 2008, he began scoring for
Lee. What began to intrigue him were scoring components known as “cues,” those comparatively brief
passages of music used in films to heighten certain narrative visuals and/or spoken developments.
Additionally, Hornsby’s in terest in literary fiction, specifically the work of Don DeLillo and the
late David Foster Wallace, inspired his songwriting. Hornsby’s songs, both in spirit and memory,
function collectively as an homage to fiction writing that, while often poetic, takes no prisoners.
The multi-faceted album is another example of Hornsby’s constant musical evolution and how he’s able
to combine disparate elements into an accessible soundscape.

Predominantly produced by Hornsby, the 10-track album includes added production from Justin Vernon
(Bon Iver), Tony Berg (Phoebe Bridgers, Andrew Bird, Public Image Ltd.) and Brad Cook (Sharon Van
Etten, Hiss Golden Messenger). Absolute Zero also includes musical contributions from yMusic, The Staves, Blake Mills, Jack DeJohnette, Sean Carey, The Orchestra Of St. Hanks (Frost
School/University of Miami), Hornsby’s longtime band The Noisemakers and more.
